This product is recommended for use under the supervision of a physician, or health-care provider.

Contraindications: Known hypersensitivity to any of the components in the products is a contraindication.

Warnings: Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B12 is deficient.

Do not exceed recommended dosage. Precautions: Folic acid when administered as a single agent in doses above 0.1 mg daily, may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. The 1 mg of cyanocobalamin contained in Folbee Plus Tablets has been shown to provide an adequate amount of cyanocobalamin to address this precaution. A safe upper limit of 100 mg per day has been established for the unsupervised medical use of pyridoxine. Consider all sources of pyridoxine supplementation when prescribing Folbee Plus Tablets.

Adverse reactions: Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid. Paresthesia and somnolence have been reported with pyridoxine hcl. Mild transient diarrhea, polycythemia vera, peripheral vascular thrombosis, itching transitory exanthema and feeling or swelling of entire body has been associated with cyanocobalamin.

Drug interactions: Pyridoxine supplements should not be given to patients receiving the drug levodopa, because the action of levodopa is antagonized by pyridoxine. However, pyridoxine may be used concurrently in patients receiving a preparations containing both carbidopa and levodopa. Concurrent use of phenytoin and folacin (folic acid) may result in decreased phenytoin effectiveness.

Patient information: Folbee Plus Tablets are for use only under the direction and supervision of a licensed physician or health-care provider.
